Simon,
Yes, calcium carbonate powder seems like a valuable way to meet a vegan’s calcium needs under such circumstances.

Thank you. It went from 1,000 to 1,300 in 2021. I’ve updated the article.

I haven’t seen enough evidence to conclude that one form is better than another.

This study from 1987 says that there is not much difference in the rate of absorption between different forms. Personally, as a person who is prone to getting migraines, I have found that I need to avoid calcium citrate, because the large amount of citric acid can contribute to a headache for me, which is an unusual reaction but it might be of interest to a few people who have the same problem. Interestingly, I can take zinc citrate because the dose is so much smaller.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not require proof of nutrient content for fortified foods and supplements before they go to market – in other words, manufacturers report the nutrient content and that is goes on the Nutrition Facts label. The only way to know the nutrient content for sure is to pull an item off the shelf and have a lab test it.

Awesome, thanks for looking into this & duckweed ! Any idea about the levels stated in supplements vs in fortified foods which actually contain the doses stated/have more controls & regulations? Thanks!
